The story is very Filipino

I already finished watching tons of BL dramas (Korean, Thai, Japanese) and this is my first Filipino BL drama that I have watched. The story is so far the realest of all and addresses the situation of some LGBTQ community in today's society. I love how they mixed a lot of comedy and a little horror in the series.

The story is good actually but the execution of the characters (excluding Anna because she's perfect in every scene) has a bit off in some parts. The conversations have too much Taglish (Tagalog-English) and it's a little displeasing to my ears. For me, it would be better if they lessen the use of English. One to three English words in a sentence would do.

I'm quite impressed to the acting of Ian (Vlad), Justine (Sue) and Yesh (Anna). Paolo (Karl) has a decent acting though. Adrienne (Judit) is way too exaggerated sometimes but I like how consistent her way of speaking. Their emotions through body language and facial expressions are very remarkable. But, I noticed unpleasant phrasing of words in some parts when the main characters are conversing. That made me off while watching.

Although I rated this with 7.5/10 which is in the average on my standard, I would say that this is a MUST-WATCH.
